It's more acidic which helps the moss grow...

Nice idea! I just wonder how well the beer+sugar works as a moss fertilizer. Or for that matter, how well the moss tolerates acrylic paint (probably fairly inert, but it may block sunlight). Since you made these last year, could you give us a quick update on how well the moss did on your "targets"?
